Como Zoo, Teddy Bear Park, and Broken Arm

 
This weekend, we drove to the Schneider's house along with the Hutchinson's to have a fun family friendly weekend with friends.  This morning we checked out the Como Zoo for the first time.  We had a great time and even ran into some friends that Mom and Dad knew from Rochester.  We enjoyed the Zebra and the baby giraffe.

Emery thought this Tiger was pretty cool

All the kiddos (plus Daddy, since Emery was really tired at this point!)  After this we had a nice picnic lunch just outside the gates of the Como Zoo.

After lunch, we headed to Teddy Bear Park.  Aiden wanted to show everyone how cool this place was.  This picture was taken about 5 minutes before he fell off the zip line.
  
First Emergency Room visit for this kiddo.  It was obviously broken.  We were very thankful that Kate was on call and was able to stop by and check in on us.

They tried a few methods to get his bones aligned and he was quite the trouper as he barely took any pain medicine.

  However, they ended up needing to call in Ortho and knocking him out to set it with an x-ray machine right in our ER room.  (Can't wait for this bill to come....)

Meanwhile, everyone else headed out for dinner and back to the Schneider's for some game time.

My boys! 
 
Aiden also took these photos.

Photography Belt Loop

Aiden decided that he wanted to get the photography belt loop for cub scouts.  Here are the photos he took at Jester Park.  I think he did a fabulous job of capturing our hike.

Sick

You know this boy is sick, when he curls up and takes a nap in the
middle of the afternoon.
